Kansas Produces Nothing But Wondel

Kansas Produces Nothing But Wonders.
Just now South Central Kansas is all ex-
citement about inland sea bathing in the
Salt Lake near Geuda Springs, Kansas. II
is said to be the only inland salt lake In the
United States except the one III Utah. and is
pronounced by medical experts to contain
properties that make it much superior to
surf bathing.
The springs at that place are also one of
the strange natural curiosities of this CONT
nent, being seven in number and each diff
ferent in mineral constituents, and are all
situated within a space of thirty feet square.
complete analysis of these springs has
never been made, but the excitement caused
by the cure of several cases supposed here
tofore to be incurable, and notably one of
them being Addison's disease, for which, it
is said by medical works, there is no cure,
has caused the corporation who have recent
ly purchased the springs to employ Prof. E.
II. S. Bailey, Professor of Chemistry, Me-
tallurgy and Mineralogy, in the Kansas State
University, one of the most eminent Chem
lists in this country, to make critical guam
htative analysis in order to determine each
mineral ingredient and the amount of it,
contained in these mineral waters, and as
soon as completed it will be made public.
In the meantime, the Geuda Mineral Springs
Company, of the town by that name, is be-
ing flooded with inquiries from every state
in the Union, and it now looks as if Saratoga
and other prominent resorts are to be for
gotten in the excitement over this new Kan
sas wonder.

back. Marg laughed loud and said,
what a funny noise, Katy; let me do
it,
"WSen we got to Mrs. Rush's / told
them of the wolf, and that Marg
must not know. Mr.. Rush took US
home on old Billy, his old horse. and
little Marg was happy as she sat be-
hind me on his back"
ssDid she never know of the wolff" l
asked.
NO." said Aunt Katy; 1--WE never
told her; she was so easily frightened.
She took lung fever the first snowfall,
and hers was the first grave in the
neighborhood graveyard on Pine Hill"
This simple little story of one chifd's
devotion and bravery for another, Aunt
Katy told US in the freight, without
one thought of the praises due herself.

The Largest Farm In the World.

In the extreme southwest corner OF
Louisiana lies the largest producing
farm In the world. 1t runs 100 miles
north and south and = miles east and
west, and is owned and operated by a
syndicate of Northern capitalists.
Their general manager, J. b. Watkins,
gives an interesting account of this
gigantic plantation, which throws the
great Dalrymple farm in Dakota in
the shade completely. The 1,500, 900
acres of our tract, Mr.. Watkins said,
was purchased in 1883 from the State
of Louisiana and from the United
States Government. At that time it
was vast grazing land for the cattle of
the few dealers of the neighbOrhood.
WhenI took possession / found over
80, 900 head of half-wild horses and
cattle. My work was to divide the inn
mense track into convenient pastures,
establishing stations or ranches every
six miles. The fencing alone cost in
the neighborhood of $50, 900. The land
l found to be best adapted to rice, SUI
gar, corn and cotton. All our culti-
waiting, ditching, etc., is done by steam
power. We take tract, say half q
mile for instance, and place an engine
on each sides The engines are port
able and operate a cable attached to
four plows, and under this arrange
ment We are able to plow thirty acres
a day with only the labor of three
men. Our narrowing, planting and
other cultivation is done in a like man
ner. In fact, there is not single
draught horse on the entire place. We
have, of course, horses for the herders
of cattle, of which we now have 49,
600 head. The Southern Pacific Rail-
road runs for th1rty-six miles through
our farm. We have three steamboats,
operating on the waters of our estate,
upon which there are 800 miles Of
navigable waters. We have an ice
house, bank, shipyard and a rice
mill.

Butter Substitutes.

In a number of States in which the
dairy interests are large, the manufac-
ture and sale of butter substitutes has
been prohibited by legislative action.
In other States laws have been enacted
to regulate their sale and prevent
fraud. An attempt was made in Con-
greSs to check the manufacture and
sale by taxation sufficient to bring
their cost nearly up to that of butter.
In the law as actually passed, how
ever, the tax was very much reduced,
so that while it may help toward pre-
venting improper sale Of butter sub
stitutes and, by obliging sellers to pay
high license fees, may considerably in
terfere with their general use, it will
not be as effective in excluding them
from the markets as was desired. This
is case where mechanical invention
aided by science is enabled to furnish
q cheap, wholesome, aud nutritious
food for the people. Legislation to
nrovide for official inspection of this.
as of other food products, and to in
sure that it shall be sold for what it is
and not for what it is not, is very de-
sirable. Every reasonable measure to
prevent fraud, here as elsewhere,
ought to be welcomed. But the at
tempt to curtail or suppress the pro-
duction of cheap and useful food ma
terial by law, lest the profits which a
class, the producers of butter, have
enjoyed from a costlier article may be
diminished, is opposed to the interests
of large body of people, to the spirit
of our institutions, and to the plainest
dictates of justice.-1he Century.

GREEDY TURKISH FIREMEN.
They Only Go to Burning Building t
Make Money Out oft.

Make Money Out oft.
Not infrequently we are startled by
the report from cannon, for this is
the method of spreading the news OF Q
fire, says a correspondent who writes
from Constantinople to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle It is sounded several
times from across the water, the look
out giving the signal from the height
OF Galata tower, SO it is heard all up
and down the Bosporus. The lccstic:.
of the fire is then telegraphed to each
village. 1t is not long before we hear,
far in the distance. a prolonged dismal
call, and we then know that the watch
man is coming to tell all along his way
the place of confagration. This can do
no good except to satisfy the curiosity,
for were the owner of the burning
building here and the fire in Pera he
could not get to it till daylight, and all
night his thoughts would be on the
probable damage done. That, too, is
likely to be great on account of the
character of the firemen. There are
attempts at organized companies; but
all consist of the water-carriers, not
such as carry the cool, sweet water for
passengers, but those using leather
bags or bottles to supply houses.
When an alarm is given these all run
with their sacks, or wait to fill them at
the fountain first, and then sit down
and bargain with the owners, and will
not put drop of water on the flames
until they have him agree to the price
they wish for their services. They can
do little good. however, for they use
only hand pump that, of course, can
not throw the stream very far nor with
much force. The building is almost
sure to burn to the ground, and were it
not for the frequent stone and brick
walls much damage would be done.
The fremen, as we'll as MANY others,
intend to make as much as possible at
this time, and, on the pretence of saw
ing furniture and other articles, they
enter the house and carry off all they
can, feeling that it belongs to them, as
they have taken it from a burning
building. All houses in danger of
catching are thus entered also, and it
takes the most vigilant of watching to
prevent the loss of everything. This
causes much more annoyance than the
fire, for while the latter can be put out
the former are demonstrative.
The watchman who tells us of the fire
is called the beckgee. His "Yon gon
var" there is confagration) we have
learned to understand, but all the re-
mainder of his speech is rapid run
ming together of words that noIe but
practiced ears can interpret. His other
duty is to pass through the village
several times every night and on his way
pound the stones with his iron-ferruled
stick. This tells the people that he is
on watch while they sleep, but it also
tells the knave to hide himself or delay
mis- mischief until the watchman shall
have passed. His signal surely bodies
more of evil than of good, and were he
to meet some night wanderer fear he
would be the first to fee. For one
evening, curious to see him and his
pounding instrument, three of us went
out to meet him. When he saw us he
stood still, as ii greatly frightened, and
when we called him it was some little
time before he ventured to draw near.
